- Smoking tea is very popular in Japan and is called Okô Yô Ryokucha (お香用緑茶).
- Green tea from the previous year's harvest still has most of its beneficial ingredients and flavorings and excellent for gentle steeping. A very fine, pleasant room aroma is created.
- The complex green tea aromas create a natural, unobtrusive carpet of fragrance.
- Please do not smolder on a stove with a metal screen, as this reaches too high a temperature.
- A special Japanese incense burner with an incense pan made of clay called chakoro (jap.: 茶香炉) is ideal.
